parody on man, came to this
country sometime ago to fill the
position of clerk to the receiver of
the Y. & NJ. The receiver was
Mr.. Frank Bond, president of the
q. d G. system, and is said to be
nephew of Mr.. w. w. Bond. After
being here a a short time, he sud
denly doomed into prominence, as
Master Of trains an important and
responsible position, which posi-
ton he was as well calculated to
fill. as is an ape.
OF course, he naturally wishes
to show his authority, as light
weight men always do, and he be-
gan fault finding. Proceeding
rapidly in his career, he took to
suspending employees ofthe road,
for trivial offences or omissions.
Old employees were incontinently
given the grand American bounce,
in the shape of suspensions of ten
fifteen or more days, and then gra-
ciously permitted to resume their
duties, if they had not Indignantly |
resigned, which some of them did

a man Mr.. Bond was,

satisfactory manner, to the locker

owments, and his entire freedom
'om any qualities calculated to
xcite admiration.
He has made himself not only

$500 PER MILE.

HIS Is tHe inquire set by the ' E,
S. & p. r. r. Co., as the basis OF
assessment, getting this basis they
will pay the taxes for 1885 and
1856, at once, and will also pay
every year. This basis is to re-
main in force ten years counting
from, and including 1885. Getting
this, they also waive their right,
to exemption from taxation for ten
years. BY agreeing to this basis
the parish gets two years taxes
right away and is promised the
prompt payment of taxes in future,
escapes the expense of a law suit,
and obtains a certainty or some
revenue, small but certain.
On the other hand $500 is the
very lowest basis of assessment on
any road in the State. Some time
ago Mr.. Belknap asked that an
agreement be entered into for an
assessment Of So 600 per mile. but
this agreement did not include the
paying of any cash. The amount
of $1,000 per mile, was satisfactory
to the railroad, but they would not
agree to pay any cash. Now, in
consideration of paying some cash,
they ask for further reduction of
$1,000 per mile. If the parish
should agree to this it will get a
yearly revenue of about not quite
$4,000, as on an assessment of So
600 the taxes are $4,000. This
would continue for ten years, and
the railroad saving the difference
between 81 900 and $4,000, would
in the ten years gain over $40. 900. !
Law suits are uncertain, and while |
the parish has good case, (for if
1t had not, the railroad would new
er compromise, } it is impossible to
tell the result of a suit. The suit
would cost some $1,000, and if the |
parish won it, would get good |
thing, if it lost, it would get a very |
bad one.
This is how the matter stands
and the question to be decided, is, |
is 1t better to take what you can
get without a law suit. or go to law
and take the chances of getting all
the parish is entitled to, at some
future day, say six or eight years ?
The tax payers, generally, will be
asked their opinion on this uues-
ton, and the Police Jury will m eet
Monday week to decide. One
thing that has been urged in favor
Of the compromise is without |
weight, and that is, that the money
S badly needed right now. The
money is not urgently needed, and
f it was in hand, it would not re-
luce taxation. So that part of the
ubject can be dismissed. The
lines lays the facts before YOU
20 as you think best.

them. and he instantly answered, "Why,

is-culiarity is that the moment they see a

wild with excitement and ambition, and
dash at il full speed until the summit Is
reached or their strength is exhausted.
The POST drivers are also y Wild set, and
make farmers and other travellers give
them clear read They turn out for no
body less than government courier.
Their heavy Iarantrasses tcoachesI in sum-
